Keens, which has been in its 36th St. location since 1885, is our favorite steakhouse. In addition to delicious food, there's the incomparable old NY ambiance -- walls filled with memorabilia and rows of old clay smoking pipes suspended from all the ceilings. As is the case with most steakhouses, they do serve lobster. And, while the dessert menu includes creme brulee, I have no idea how good it is because we always end our meals there with the Coffee Cantata.

This thread seems to be focusing on steakhouses, which at first thought, makes sense, considering what you are looking for. However, how about a French brasserie? Balthazar comes immediately to mind. The menu includes what you are looking for, i.e., steaks, seafood (including lobster), and creme brulee. I've somehow not managed to eat there yet, so I can't tell you from personal experience how good the food is.

As I said, I haven't been to Balthazar, so it was left up to Hounds like you to comment on the food's quality.

Going back to steakhouses... We've had good steaks at Smith & Wollensky, albeit quite a long time ago. Lobster's on the menu, but I haven't a clue about creme brulee, and the menu on the website doesn't list desserts.

S&W has the best steak in the city IMO. The bone in cajun rib eye is outstanding. Their deserts are also amazing. This would be my choice but I cannot say I ever had the lobster. The S&W grill is more relaxed.
